it didn't even took me a second to laugh at his remark.

"you? jealous? of dongho?" i burst into laughter, "are you out of your mind lee dohyun?" i laugh for a few more minutes and instantly straightened my face when i saw dohyun's face, unentertained. "you weren't joking?" i ask him with curiosity.

"i wasn't," he sighs. "i really am," he looks at me with such sincerity.

"but why?" i shriek, trying not to laugh once again, paying no heed to my heart that was beating rapidly.

"i mean, its so nice that he knows everything about you! i'd like that too!" he sulks, "i'd like to worry about what you're worrying to too, i'd like to be one of those friends who helps you out when you need to," he pouts while whining. i looked at him with a touched smile, gaining all my energy.

"do you want to spend the rest of the evening talking about me?" i straightened my back and shifted my seat to look at him. 

"no, you need to sleep." he shakes his head side wards.

"take it or leave it," he thinks for a while until he gives up, scolding me and later on begs not to tell dongho about not letting me sleep. "fine, fine," i say then shifted my seat to face him, telling him every detail of my life.

"you're unbelievable." he says while laughing at my stories.

"that's most probably the shortest summarization of my life you wanted to know," i smile at him, cherishing the moment we spent together.

"it has been an honor," he laughs then brushes off a stray hair which was covering your face. i chuckle and looked at the clock, which read 3:35 am. 

"what the fuck we talked for 8 hours?" you stared at the clock, dumbfounded. "are you okay?" i ask him because i didn't notice that he was sitting in the uncomfortable chair for so long.

"i am," he smiles at me. "now i think i know a lot more than dongho," he chuckles and i smile at him. "now you need to sleep, you'll be discharged at eight," he says then tucks me to bed, smiling at me. "i enjoyed today," he smiles sweetly, "not the part where you blacked out though," we laugh.

"where are you going to rest though?" i asked, concerned since there wasn't an extra mattress, only an uncomfortable couch and chair.

"on the couch," he mindlessly said, as if i should know.

"no, that's too uncomfortable. i'll sleep there, you sleep here." i say as i get out of bed, but then he stops me.

"are you kidding me?" he asks, but i just stared at him. "tell me, who needs the bed?" he asks.

"most definitely you?" you answered, but then it came out as a question. he lightly knocks on your head.

"are you out of your mind? no! you stay there." he says and pulls me back to the bed. i sigh as i fixed the blanket, and he turned off the lights.

"are you okay there?" i asked after a few minutes of silence. 

"of course," i knew he was lying, since the couch has been making wird noises since he laid there. he has been shifting and shifting around, trying to find a comfortable position.

"the bed's definitely big enough for the both of us," i boldly said, which was true. i just didn't want him to be uncomfortable. "why don't you sleep here?" i ask, but was only given a chuckle.

"oh please, just tell me you want to sleep with me," he jokes but i agreed with him which thickened the silence. i can even hear the crickets outside the hospital.

"i do, if that's what's going to make you sleep here," i say, still waiting for him. the lights suddenly opened, which revealed dohyun making his way to me with wide strides. "hey, why?" i ask innocently until he stops right in front of me.

"don't regret it then," he nervously said and i swiftly moved aside to give him space. with him in the bed, it was still spacious but i felt more comfortable knowing that he is.

"why would i?" i chuckle, then doze off to sleep.

"please don't tell her," i hear as i regained my senses, trying to blink a few times because of the blindness.

"don't tell me what?" i sit up from the bed, scratching my neck and rotating my head. i see dohyun with a bed hair, then eunhee and dongho.

"hyerin-ah," eunhee sweetly calls for my name while reaching for a hug. i welcomed her and with one eye blinked, still blinded by the lights, i looked at the two boys infront of the bed.

"don't tell me what?" i repeated, looking at eunhee with clueless eyes.

dohyun looked nervous and desperately looked at dongho and eunhee who were smiling slyly.

"that.." dongho started, then once again took a glance on dohyun who was practically begging.

"that what?" i started getting irritated.

"that dohyun.." eunhee says, and i roll my eyes and asked again.

"i slept on the couch!" dohyun says and dongho and eunhee bursts in laughter, even holding their tummies.

"okay? why are you making a big deal out of that?" i looked at them with furrowed eyebrows.

i sigh and went down the bed, asking for my spare clothes. eunhee gave me a paper bag then i headed to the bathroom right away. i hear quiet mumbles and mutters, even laughs. i roll my eyes as i stared at the mirror.

i widened my eyes in shock as i was very red.

"what happened to me?" i whisper. i recall blurry moments of my dreams, dohyun getting married with me and sharing a kiss. my eyes went wide in horror once again as i turned my attention back to the mirror. i was getting more red!

to shake off the thought, i rinse my face with water multiple times and change to my comfortable clothes.

i opened the door to see them all smiling.

"what?" i asked them, avoiding having to meet gazes with dohyun. i felt like a pervert, i was disappointed in myself.

they all shook their head sidewards and we were ready to go.

"we'll see you around hyerin," dongho says and plays with your hair. "when we have time," he continues. i nod and pout, knowing that i will be bored to death in here without having to meet them in the day.

and that was for a week. you could completely say that this 'rest' was going to be the death of me.

they leave with a smile on their faces, turning their attention to dohyun and wiked at him.

"what's wrong with them?" i ask nonchalantly.

"nothing!" he shouts which made me flinch.

"ah.. you scared me," i said then push him away.

"did i?" he chuckles nervously.

"what the hell's wrong with everybody? why are you so nervous? why are they so happy? what happened when i was sleeping?" i furiously asked as he just avoided my eyes.

"nothing happened, trust me." i saw him gulp a big chunk of saliva, sign that he was nervous.

"whatever," i say. "you should go home," i push him and wave a goodbye absentmindedly. he shouts a goodbye before walking off.
